AbraSilver Resource – Final Silver And Gold Drill Assays From Phase 5 Exploration Program, Building Towards Resource Update, DFS, EIA, and RIGI Approval

John Miniotis, President and CEO, and Dave O’Connor, Chief Geologist of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), join me to review the final silver and gold assay results from drill holes completed as part of the Phase V diamond drilling program at its wholly-owned Diablillos project in Salta Province, Argentina.   We discuss how these drill results will be incorporated into the upcoming Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”), underpinning the Company’s Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), which continues to remain on track for completion in Q2/2026.

 

 

This Phase V drill program has been mostly focused on the Oculto East and JAC zones at their wholly-owned Diablillos property and the final holes demonstrated that JAC is not closed off and yielded more high-grade intercepts:

 

  • JAC: Strong near-surface silver mineralization continues to expand the Mineral Resource growth potential, including:
    • DDH 25-096: 57.0 metres (“m”) of 51 g/t silver from 109 m downhole
    • DDH 25-099: 13.0 m of 477 g/t silver from 151 m downhole
    • DDH 25-104: 17.0 m of 432 g/t silver & 1.10 g/t gold from 131 m downhole, including 6.0 m at 1,093 g/t silver & 2.42 g/t gold

 

 

We review how these results continue to expand oxide-hosted silver and gold mineralization to the southwest, along the corridor between JAC and Oculto.  Dave points out that prior results in this program also expanded mineralization to the east of the Oculto deposit, extending the high-grade gold zone and highlighting the continued strong exploration upside potential across the Diablillos system.

 

The exploration team now believes these higher-grade gold intercepts are just the top of a porphyry deposit at depth, and pointed to the deeper hole targeting a different porphyry target at Cerro Viejo.   Additionally, we circle back to the Sombra target identified in the Phase IV drill program last year, and how it is possible that there is a parallel trend that could extend from Sombra up to Oculto East, and that more drilling will focus on that thesis in the Phase VI drill program to come.

 

John takes us through the busy year the company has in front of them due to a series of upcoming catalysts all the way though the end of 2026. The drilling data from Phase V will be compiled into an updated Resource Estimate that will come out in parallel with their Definitive Feasibility Study due out in the 2nd quarter of 2026.  

 

Additionally, the Company is waiting on their EIA permits and RIGI approval, which will be the triggers for a decision to begin construction next year. John reiterates why the RIGI laws in Argentina are so economically advantageous to the Company, relaxing currency controls, reducing export duties to 0% over a couple years, and reducing taxation to 25% over a 30-year stability period.

 

Wrapping up John unpacks why all these catalysts will provide opportunities for the company to rerate higher, and he highlights the current valuation has the company is receiving, which is more in line with silver trading in the low $20s; which is stark contrast to spot silver prices trading well north of $100 an ounce.
